Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Hartselle, AL.

Detoxification is the first step of quitting drugs, and you may choose to go through detoxification in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Hartselle offers medical detox services, which is performed with the assistance of nurses and doctors who can make detox easier and more comfortable, utilizing medications to alleviate symptoms and make detox safer. An individual withdrawing from alcohol for example might benefit from specific medications during detox to prevent seizures and tremors that are common during serious alcohol withdrawal. A person who is going through heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal will most likely decide to receive medically supervised detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where prescription medications are administered to help them through a very miserable (but usually not life threatening) form of withdrawal. Individuals in a hospital inpatient detoxification facility remain at the facility until the symptoms of withdrawal have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what substance they are withdrawing from and their overall health.

For a person who has been struggling with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detox facility to a drug and/or alcohol recovery facility to treat their addiction given that detox is not treatment in itself.
